and a poem about my work . . .
the end of May
gusts animate falling plane leaves / a farewell curlicue dance / through thinning air /
collins street 5pm /crisp leaves crackle and crunch / beneath determined feet /
melbourne in autumn / quieter walks on leafy carpet / softened by rain /
and amongst fallen leaves / other seasons’ ends / rest and curl Carmel Wallace 2014
I’ve just travelled by tram down Collins Street en route to Southern Cross station. So your poem really struck a chord. Thanks for sharing it Carmel. I had no idea you wrote poetry. Have you always written poetry? I’d love to read more at some stage. Best of luck for the NY show. I’m sure the piece will resonate there. Cheerio, Trevor
